[QUOTE="danno, post: 37523, member: 1372"] Hi The Oil filler cap on my series C Rapide tends to catch on the tank and causes wear when removing. The clearance around the filler stem is uneven with 6mm gap to the left and about 2mm on the right. I have slackened all tank securing bolts so the tank is loose but it seems to the front LH bolt that pulls the tank down left. I did remove the tank a while ago to re-tap the front tank bolt threads but not sure whether the tank was central prior to removal. Not really a big problem but a bit annoying none the less as it's causing wear to tank. Any help appreciated. Dan [/QUOTE]
